The third-grade students go on a field trip. of the 321 student they are five more girls than boys. how many girls are there how many boys are there

There are 158 boys and 163 girls

This is a trial problem where you have to guess and check.

An easy way is to split 321 the closest to a half which can be 161 or 160

If we add 5 to one one (166) is it 5 more than the other? (321 - 166 = 155) So, no.

Let's make the number 163. Is it 5 more than the other? (321 - 163 = 158)

They are 5 away from each other which means we can use 163 for the amount of girls

There are 163 girls
